Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that, the step numbers in the text are only for convenience of explanation of the specific embodiments, and do not serve to limit the execution sequence of the steps. The method provided by the embodiment can be executed by the relevant server, and the server is taken as an example for explanation below.
Please refer to fig. 1-5.
As shown in fig. 1, the first embodiment provides a video conference broadcasting method, including steps S1 to S3:
and S1, driving the interactive media server to decode and mix screen coding for the first data uploaded by at least one interactive terminal to obtain second data.
And S2, transmitting the second data to a broadcast media server through a unidirectional data channel.
And S3, driving the broadcast media server to decode and encode the second data to obtain third data, and sending the third data to at least one broadcast terminal.
In order to implement a multipoint video conference, an MCU must be set. The MCU is essentially a multimedia information switch, which performs multi-point calling and connection, implements functions of video broadcasting, video selection, audio mixing, data broadcasting, etc., and completes the tandem and switching of signals of each terminal. The MCU differs from the existing switches in that the switch performs point-to-point connection of signals, while the MCU performs multipoint-to-multipoint switching, tandem or broadcast.
The MCU may be divided into an access service, a media control server, an interactive media server, and a broadcast media server. The access service is responsible for accessing external signaling, the media control server is responsible for managing the interactive media server and the broadcast media server, the interactive media server is responsible for connecting the interactive terminal, and the broadcast media server is responsible for connecting the broadcast terminal.
And accessing at least one interactive terminal into the interactive media server through the media control server, and accessing at least one broadcast terminal into the broadcast media server. Once a broadcast terminal accesses the broadcast media server, the media control server applies for an internal channel from the interactive media server and the broadcast media server, and establishes a unidirectional data channel from the interactive media server to the broadcast media server.
Because the media control server is responsible for the allocation and scheduling of resources, the media control server preferentially accesses the interactive terminals participating in the same conference to the same interactive media server, and preferentially accesses the broadcast terminals participating in the same conference to the same broadcast media server.
It should be noted that the interactive terminal and the broadcast terminal both include a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet and other communication devices that can be connected to the server, and the first data includes data such as text data, image data, audio data, and video data.
It can be understood that, the interactive media server decodes and screen-mixing encodes the first data uploaded by the at least one interactive terminal to obtain the second data, so as to transmit the second data to the broadcast media server via the unidirectional data channel, and the broadcast media server decodes and encodes the second data to obtain the third data, so as to send the third data to the at least one broadcast terminal.
In this embodiment, the interactive terminal is only allowed to upload the first data, the second data is broadcasted to the broadcast media server through the interactive media server, and the third data is broadcasted to the broadcast terminal through the broadcast media server, which is equivalent to performing secondary broadcasting on the first data. When a large number of users participate in the video conference, namely, the interactive media server is accessed to a large number of interactive terminals, and the broadcast media server is accessed to a large number of broadcast terminals, only the data uploaded by the interactive terminals need to be processed, so that the pressure of data processing can be effectively reduced, the resource consumption is reduced, and the normal data broadcasting is ensured.
In a preferred embodiment, the step S1 further includes: driving the interactive media server to issue fourth data to any interactive terminal; and the fourth data is obtained by decoding and mixed screen coding the first data uploaded by the rest of the interactive terminals.
It can be understood that the interactive terminal may upload the first data to the interactive media server, and may also receive fourth data obtained by the interactive media server decoding and performing mixed screen encoding on the first data uploaded by other interactive terminals.
In a preferred embodiment, the interactive media server and the broadcast media server each comprise a plurality of shared encoders.
It can be understood that the second data can be shared to a plurality of broadcast media servers through the shared encoder in the interactive media server, and the third data can be shared to a plurality of broadcast terminals through the shared encoder in the broadcast media server, so that when a plurality of broadcast media servers or a plurality of broadcast terminals exist, the efficiency of data broadcasting can be effectively improved.
In a preferred implementation manner of this embodiment, the shared encoders in the broadcast media server include a 1080P, 720P, and 360P three-file shared encoder.
It can be understood that the broadcast media server will obtain a path of high-resolution second data from the interactive media server, and decode and encode the second data to obtain third data. By setting a plurality of shared encoders with different resolutions for the broadcast media server, the third data with high resolution, medium resolution or low resolution can be adaptively transmitted according to the receiving capability of the broadcast terminal, thereby ensuring that each broadcast terminal can accurately and timely receive the third data.
In a preferred embodiment, the video conference broadcasting method further includes: and stacking a plurality of interactive media servers on the interactive media server according to a pre-stored load distribution strategy.
It should be noted that the pre-stored load distribution policy includes: for the same conference, the first interactive terminal participating in the conference preferentially accesses the interactive media server with the lowest load, and the subsequent interactive terminal participating in the conference preferentially accesses the interactive media server to reduce stacking consumption; and for different conferences, correspondingly stacking a plurality of new interactive media servers on the interactive media servers according to the type number of the conferences.
It can be understood that, according to the pre-stored load distribution strategy, a plurality of same interactive media servers are stacked on the interactive media server, so that the plurality of interactive media servers cooperate with each other to broadcast the second data to the plurality of broadcast media servers, thereby improving the efficiency of data broadcasting.
By stacking a plurality of interactive media servers, each interactive media server is connected with at least one broadcast media server, the plurality of broadcast media servers can be transversely expanded, and thus, a large-scale video conference is supported.
In a preferred embodiment, the video conference broadcasting method further includes: and when the performance of the broadcast media server reaches an upper limit, establishing a unidirectional data channel from the interactive media server to another broadcast media server.
It should be noted that, for the same conference, the first broadcast terminal participating in the conference preferentially accesses the broadcast media server with the lowest load connected to the interactive media server processing the conference, and the subsequent broadcast terminal participating in the conference preferentially accesses the broadcast media server, and when the performance of the broadcast media server reaches the upper limit, that is, the load reaches the upper limit, a unidirectional data channel is established from the interactive media server to another broadcast media server with the lowest load, and so on.
It will be appreciated that when the performance of the broadcast media server reaches an upper limit, a unidirectional data channel is established from the interactive media server to the new broadcast media server. Because both unidirectional data channels transmit the second data from the same interactive media server to both broadcast media servers, i.e., both broadcast media servers are shared on the data source. When the performance of the broadcast media server reaches the upper limit, the broadcast media server is newly added and a unidirectional data channel is newly established, so that the normal operation of each broadcast media server can be ensured, and the efficiency of data broadcasting is improved.
By adding at least one broadcast media server, each broadcast media server is connected with at least one broadcast terminal, so that a plurality of broadcast terminals can be expanded transversely, and a large-scale conference is supported.
As shown in fig. 3-4, in a preferred embodiment, the method for broadcasting a video conference further includes steps S401 to S403:
s401, responding to the identity switching request initiated by the interactive terminal.
S402, the interactive media server is driven by a signaling gateway to release interactive resources, and the broadcast media server is driven to return broadcast resources to the interactive terminal, so that the interactive terminal performs renegotiation according to the broadcast resources.
S403, when the renegotiation is successful, switching the interactive terminal to a new broadcast terminal, and establishing a unidirectional data channel from the broadcast media server to the interactive terminal.
It should be noted that the identity switching request initiated by the interactive terminal switches the interactive terminal to the broadcast terminal, which is equivalent to converting the interactive right to the broadcast right.
As shown in fig. 5, in another preferred embodiment, the video conference broadcasting method further includes steps S501 to S503:
s501, responding to the identity switching request initiated by the broadcast terminal.
S502, the broadcast media server is driven to release broadcast resources through a signaling gateway, and the interactive media server is driven to return interactive resources to the broadcast terminal, so that the broadcast terminal performs renegotiation according to the interactive resources.
S503, when the renegotiation is successful, switching the broadcast terminal to a new interactive terminal, and establishing a bidirectional data channel between the broadcast terminal and the interactive media server.
It should be noted that the identity switching request initiated by the broadcast terminal switches the broadcast terminal to an interactive terminal, which is equivalent to converting the broadcast right to an interactive right.
It can be understood that the interactive terminal and the broadcast terminal can be switched with each other, so that in the video conference, each user can select to upload data or not to upload data through the conversion permission, and the user requirements are met.
In a preferred embodiment, the video conference broadcasting method further includes: and responding to an identity switching request initiated by a third-party terminal, and connecting the third-party terminal to the interactive media server or the broadcast media server through Bypass.
Because the third-party terminal does not support renegotiation, the third-party terminal adopts a temporary conference scheme when accessing, the temporary conference adopts a Bypass scheme, and the Bypass only encrypts, decrypts and repacks data without decoding and encoding. Therefore, the Bypass scheme is adopted, so that the energy consumption is not excessively increased.
One side of the Bypass is connected with a third party terminal, the other side of the Bypass can support switching to other media servers such as an IVR voice service, an interactive media server and a broadcast media server at any time, and the switching process needs to be carried out by renegotiation in the MCU. Therefore, the broadcast terminal and the interactive terminal can be switched at any time. And when the third-party terminal is used as a broadcast terminal, the broadcast media server is docked and only sends data to Bypass. Third party terminal access does not consume additional performance, similar to an account conference.
Please refer to fig. 6.
As shown in fig. 6, a second embodiment provides a video conference broadcasting device, which includes an interactive media server driving module 21, configured to drive an interactive media server to decode and mix screen encoding on first data uploaded by at least one interactive terminal, so as to obtain second data; a second data unidirectional transmission module 22, configured to transmit the second data to a broadcast media server through a unidirectional data channel; and a broadcast media server driving module 23, configured to drive the broadcast media server to decode and encode the second data to obtain third data, and send the third data to at least one broadcast terminal.
In order to implement a multipoint video conference, an MCU must be set.

The MCU differs from the existing switches in that the switch performs point-to-point connection of signals, while the MCU performs multipoint-to-multipoint switching, tandem or broadcast.
The MCU may be divided into an access service, a media control server, an interactive media server, and a broadcast media server. The access service is responsible for accessing external signaling, the media control server is responsible for managing the interactive media server and the broadcast media server, the interactive media server is responsible for accessing the interactive terminal, and the broadcast media server is responsible for accessing the broadcast terminal.
And accessing at least one interactive terminal into the interactive media server through the media control server, and accessing at least one broadcast terminal into the broadcast media server. Once a broadcast terminal accesses the broadcast media server, the media control server applies for an internal channel from the interactive media server and the broadcast media server, and establishes a unidirectional data channel from the interactive media server to the broadcast media server.
Because the media control server is responsible for the allocation and scheduling of resources, the media control server preferentially accesses the interactive terminals participating in the same conference to the same interactive media server, and preferentially accesses the broadcast terminals participating in the same conference to the same broadcast media server.
It should be noted that the interactive terminal and the broadcast terminal both include a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet and other communication devices that can be connected to the server, and the first data includes data such as text data, image data, audio data, and video data.

In this embodiment, only the interactive terminal is allowed to upload the first data, the interactive media server is driven by the interactive media server driving module 21 to broadcast the second data to the broadcast media server, and the broadcast media server is driven by the broadcast media server driving module 23 to broadcast the third data to the broadcast terminal, which is equivalent to performing secondary broadcast on the first data. When a large number of users participate in the video conference, namely, the interactive media server is accessed to a large number of interactive terminals, and the broadcast media server is accessed to a large number of broadcast terminals, only the data uploaded by the interactive terminals need to be processed, so that the pressure of data processing can be effectively reduced, the resource consumption is reduced, and the normal data broadcasting is ensured.
In this implementation, the interactive media server driving module 21 is further configured to drive the interactive media server to issue fourth data to any of the interactive terminals; and the fourth data is obtained by decoding and mixed screen coding the first data uploaded by the rest of the interactive terminals.
It can be understood that the interactive terminal may upload the first data to the interactive media server, and may also receive fourth data obtained by the interactive media server decoding and performing mixed screen encoding on the first data uploaded by other interactive terminals.
In a preferred embodiment, the interactive media server and the broadcast media server each comprise a plurality of shared encoders.
It can be understood that the second data can be shared to a plurality of broadcast media servers through the shared encoder in the interactive media server, and the third data can be shared to a plurality of broadcast terminals through the shared encoder in the broadcast media server, so that when a plurality of broadcast media servers or a plurality of broadcast terminals exist, the efficiency of data broadcasting can be effectively improved.
In a preferred implementation manner of this embodiment, the shared encoders in the broadcast media server include a 1080P, 720P, and 360P three-file shared encoder.
It can be understood that the broadcast media server will obtain a path of high-resolution second data from the interactive media server, and decode and encode the second data to obtain third data. By setting a plurality of shared encoders with different resolutions for the broadcast media server, the third data with high resolution, medium resolution or low resolution can be adaptively transmitted according to the receiving capability of the broadcast terminal, thereby ensuring that each broadcast terminal can accurately and timely receive the third data.
In a preferred embodiment, the video conference broadcasting device further includes an interactive media server stacking module, and the interactive media server stacking module is configured to stack a plurality of interactive media servers on the interactive media server according to a pre-stored load distribution policy.
